The "Values of Americans" study conducted by Harris Interactive revealed that compared to their non-Scout counterparts, men who were Scouts are more likely to:
Earn a college degree (35% vs. 17%)
Own their own homes (74% vs. 65%)
Have a higher average household income ($80,000 vs. $61,000)
83% of men who were Scouts agreed that the values they learned in Scouting continue to be very important to them today.
Likewise, a recent study by Baylor University found that compared to their non-Eagle Scout counterparts, men who had achieved the rank of Eagle Scout were more likely to:
Have higher levels of planning and preparation skills, be goal-oriented, and network with others
Be in a leadership position at their place of employment or local community
Report having closer relationships with family and friends
Volunteer for religious and nonreligious organizations
Donate money to charitable groups
Work with others to improve their neighborhoods
